Thanks. I'm looking at a couple of different DeWalt compressors. The
differences between them seem pretty minor in terms of output.
No one ever complains that their compressor has too much capacity. If
you have the space and electric power, I'd get the biggest within
reason. If you get one with a good sized tank (= 30 gallons) and
upwards of 8 or 9 cfm, there are some really nifty air tools available
at quite reasonable prices.


I don't need that much ooomph. Actually, I have switched from DeWalt to
Makita. It has a nice line of smaller compressors with good reviews.

Husky from Home Depot makes a good line, too.



I've seen those. I'm going to check out a few. "Quiet" is important to
me, too. Well, quiet is the wrong word. Less noisy. The Makita that
interests me runs at 79dB. Most of the others I've spec'd are
significantly louder.

These are around 30 to 45 dB, but I'll bet you'll pay through the nose
for them:
